Jazz up your lunchtime routine with these Chicken Hummus Naan Wraps - they blend tasty Mediterranean notes with grab-and-go ease. After trying tons of different combos, I've found the magic happens when you stack things just right and balance the smooth, crisp, and zingy bits.
I brought these to work for a casual get-together last month, and they vanished right away. What made them so good? I let the hummus sit out a bit so it spreads easily, and I warmed the naan just enough to make it bendy without getting crunchy.
Key Ingredients and Their Purpose
- Naan bread: Gives you a soft, sturdy foundation that won't fall apart
- Hummus: Works as your sticky base and adds protein too
- Rotisserie chicken: Saves time without giving up good taste
- Fresh vegetables: Add a nice snap and color to every bite
- Vinaigrette: Pulls all the flavors together with a nice tang

Step-by-Step Cooking Guide
- How to Put It All Together
- Warm the naan quickly so it bends easily. Spread hummus all the way to the edges. Add chicken while it's still a bit warm. Layer veggies from firmest to softest.
- Getting the Dressing Just Right
- Mix it really well so everything blends. Add salt and pepper little by little, tasting as you go. Put honey in at the end to cut the sourness. Make more than you need for later.
- Wrapping Like a Pro
- Don't stuff too much in. Fold the sides in firmly. Roll it up tight so it stays closed. Wrap in paper for a neat look.

Through my tests, I found out that waiting just 5 minutes after rolling lets all the flavors mix together nicely while keeping everything crisp where it should be.
These wraps nail that sweet spot between easy and tasty. The way smooth hummus works with juicy chicken and crunchy fresh veggies makes a meal that's good for you and super yummy too.

If your naan breaks: Don't make it too hot, just slightly warm
If wraps seem dry: Add more hummus or a splash of dressing
If stuff falls out: Don't overfill and wrap tighter
If it gets mushy: Dry those veggies extra well
